I'm tired of being sick. I'm tired of being in the house. I'm tired of worrying about money. I'm tired of being antisocial because of no money and being sick.

Damn it, broke or not, sick or not, I will do something social this week. mad

I have the coolest supervisor and coworker in the world, methinks. Yesterday, when I was busy dying at work, my coworker said to take the rest of the day off if I needed to. I took her up on it at about 3:00 and when I told her I was going home, this look of relief spread across her face and she said, "Good, you...you...

meh.. I was actually just trying to think of something quick to post cause my previous journal entry was all formatted weird.
Yay for cool co-workers!

Hope you're feeling better soon. You're too cool to die. wink

So now that I'm working again, I'm actually leaving the house and conversing with other people. This, of course, has resulted in me getting sick. Damn people and their damn germs.

Last night, I developed one of the sorest throats I can remember. It felt like I'd swallowed a lump of hot coal. Congested AND inflamed. Whee!

Good thing I have zero sick days so...

I was bored at work yesterday in the afternoon lull, so I decided to take one of those mini-IQ tests they advertise on the NY Times page. Not that IQ is a reliable measure of much, but I got a 133, which made me feel like a total smartypants for an hour or so.

Now I wonder how I would do on a real IQ...

Real IQ tests are overrated. I only want something that will tell me what I want to hear.

Okay, it took me like a minute to figure out how to update my journal. surreal

So, now that SG is an outright dating site, do you think this will cut down on its "cool" points? Also, will this increase the "I want to have a threesome" threads on the Hookup board?

How many times have I seen people on here protesting that SG is NOT...

Well I won't be filling out the dating thing, so it doesn't affect ME. And i'll just try not to think about cooties!

But yeah, it doesn't bother me/cut down on perceived points . I think it's just their way to plop into the myspace/friendster market. smile
minsc_and_boo:
thank you for the thoughts smile

At my employee orientation this week, two of the four new staff I was orienting with asked me, upon finding out that I work at the grad school, if I was a new professor.

Oh my, perhaps I'm doing too good of a job dressing like an adult for the new job. eeek

Do I look that old already?

I've also had the urge to listen...

I had to train a 15 year old to work in my store a couple of weekends ago. I have never felt so old. I got the whole head shaking you are old look from her while talking about music. Apparently having decent taste in music makes you old. whatever biggrin

After my high school English class finished the AP exam, my teacher brought in Ferris Bueller's Day Off for us to watch. Eight years later, I'm watching it on the ABC Family channel, observing how much they've cut it to shit, editing parts I never thought required editing. It's rather depressing. It's also really making me want to watch it in its original version. Sadly,...

Bellagios BBQ Chicken pizza. I's fucking great. Me? I just got back from ballard's birthday party... listening to Roxy Music and relaxing. I wish I could sleep, even nyquil can't cut through this sick shit.

Glad you got a job.. but missing you guys otherwise,. smile

They are following in their parents footsteps blindly, most likely. They haven't seen first hand the awful things that happened during 12 years of Reagan and Bush Sr. You would think seeing four years of this clown would have been enough, but some people don't actually think for themselves.

Last time, when I had a job, I still maintained a social life. I'd stay out once or twice a week until one or two, and curse my alarm in the morning when it dragged me from my deathlike slumber.

This time around, I'm trying to be smarter about it. I'm going to bed by midnight at the latest, and not going out during the...

god no. what consulting means in myy case is that I'm not really an employee of the erson I do most of my work for, that I work out of my house and I set my own hours. I'm working of r a friend of mine who is strting his own architecture firm - something I might want to do if I ever get around to getting my license.

Wow. 28 comments. I don't think I've ever gotten that many comments before. Thank you everyone! If I wasn't rushing off to Seattle in half an hour, I'd write you all personal replies. Who knows, if I'm not dead from exhaustion by Sunday, I still might. kiss

It was a great birthday. We went out for thai food, and then hit the Franz Ferdinand show. Holy...

It was Housewarming Party Mk. I. The design of the housewarming party series always intended 2-3 houeewarming parties to account for the smallness of this place! Don't worry, you're still on the list! wink
